My truck wont start. I turn the key and all I get is a click. The truck had done this Saturday also.

The relay on the fender is clicking when I turn the key.

I checked the battery connections which are clean and tight. Then the connections at the starter. Good there too.

I unbolted the starter but not the electrical connections and bolted it back up again and then it started?

Now today the same thing?

Starter going out?

Sounds like it. That are a bad ground somewhere.

I just smacked the starter with a hammer and got the truck started.

Is having the starter rebuilt cheaper then getting a replacement?

How old is the battery?

Sometimes and sometimes not. You will just have to call around and compare the prices.

Both batteries are three years old.
